Keeping Warm – Gargleblaster Microstories #252

Young Samantha had learned about layering clothes. It was bitterly cold outside.

George called, “My socks are gone!”

Haley answered, “I’m missing Samantha’s mittens too.”

“All five pairs missing?” muttered George.

“Honey? Samantha doesn’t need mittens.”

“Why not?”

“I found your socks.”

    Great twist on the motherly over-dressing of youngsters. I love that Samantha figured it out on her own.

      Yep. I did it too when I was little (and it was -35 below with the wind chill). Sledding is fun so long as you’re warm. πŸ˜‰ Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks much! πŸ™‚

    This is fantastic. Great dialogue, great image (not just the cute photo), and a truly unique answer.

  11. Young Samantha looks very warm and comfortable. That’s pretty much how i look when it gets too cold. Anything under 50Β° will have me bundled up for premier warmth. Congrats on your win.
